Complete the Application Form, which you can receive via email. Please contact Kathy@gurianinstitute.com. Meet educational requirements: at a minimum, Certified Trainers must have completed a Bachelors Degree in an area relative to the content being trained. Submit names of two people personally familiar with the applicant’s training experience and expertise to be contacted for references. Write a short essay (maximum 1000 words) about why the applicant is interested in becoming a Gurian Institute Corporate Division Certified Trainer. Send a representative portion of applicant’s presentation of training to a corporate audience. Generally a DVD is the easiest way to do this. All of the above must be submitted to the Gurian Institute Training Division along with a $100 non-refundable application fee. If the applicant is accepted for certification, the application fee will be applied toward the training and one-time license fee, which totals $4,000 (as per below). Trainers will be required to complete additional professional development and deliver a specified minimum number of training hours to maintain certification. A variety of options are available to fulfill this requirement. Complete a Training Certification session with Michael Gurian and/or GICD staff. Submit biographical information, a picture and contact information for use on the GICD website. (To view a list of our current certified trainers, go to www.genderleadership.com.) Once the above requirements have been completed, you become certified by signing a Certification Agreement with the Gurian Institute.

Upon certification, you will receive manuals, power points, books, and other GICD intellectual property that will allow you to teach GenderLeadership the day after you leave the training, and/or embed it into your present training program.

Certification – GICD – Page Two Financial and Legal Obligations The certification and training fee is $4,000. It is a lifetime certification. The fee is payable upon the trainer’s acceptance for certification. For every future training in which a certified trainer utilizes the GICD intellectual property, the trainer will be required to pay a per participant materials cost of $100.00 to the Gurian Institute. For this cost, each of the participants in a trainer’s training will receive: a copy of LEADERSHIP AND THE SEXES, a participant manual, and other targeted intellectual property as requested. These will be drop-shipped to the event location at your request, or to your office. The Gurian Institute understands that you may wish not to teach the whole GenderLeadership program, but instead, you may wish to embed parts of the GenderLeadership intellectual property into your own already developed Leadership training. Should you choose this option, you will still need to pay a per participant fee or other form of commission to the Gurian Institute. In-House TTT and Certification If a corporation or firm is interested in an in-house TTT model, it is cost effective to bring Michael Gurian and the GICD training team to the corporation, depending on how many in-house trainers a corporation wishes to certify. This in-house TTT will be customized for the specific corporation. Specific needs and goals can be discussed with Kathy Stevens, Executive Director of the Gurian Institute (email Kathy@gurianinstitute.com or call 719-635-0651).
